Advice and So Sa.es the Life OF

SO too.
live in East 18th street. west Of
Third avenue. and have lived there for
about twenty-three years, where own
real estate. Up to the time am about
to mention I had been strong, well
man. There was always more or less
malaria in the neighborhood, but | had
not personally suffered it. 1t was
in 1880 I had my first attack. 1t came
on as such attacks commonly do, with
headaches, loss of appetite and ambi-
ton. chilly sensations with slight fever
afterwards, disposition to yawn. and
stretch, and so forth. I was employed
at that time at Killians & Brothers,
furniture manufacturers, in West 32d
street. hoped the attack would wear
off. but as it didn't consulted q we'll
known and able physician in NJ iris
ania. who gave me quinine and t,Ad me
what to do. can sum up the first four
and half or five years of my expert
ence in few words. Occasionally I
was laid up for day or two, but on
the whole stuck to my work. | kept
taking quinine. in larger doses from
year to wear. and kept on gettin" weak
er and worse. slowly but surely, all the
time. My trouble was now we'll de-
fined and its symptoms were steady and
regular. l had dumb a@ue III its worst
form, and it was grinding me down in
spite of all that | could do or the doc
tors could do. 1t held me in grip ike
tire in q burning cont mine. The poison
had gone al! through and over me and
nothing was able to touch it. | WAS
fast losing fish and strength, and about
March, 1854, knocked off work entire
" and went home to be down sick. and
to die for all | could tell. Iran dowA so
rapidly that I soon became unable to
walk any distance. Later went from
room to room in my own house only by
friends holding me up by each arm. The
doses of qIinine were increased unit! !
often look thirty grains at dose. The
effects of this tremendous stimulation
was to make me nearly wild. 1t broke
my sleep ali up. and often walked tie
floor, or staggered about it, all nj ght
long, scarcely able to bear any noises
or even human speech. My temper
was extremely irritable. As to food
one of my it'll. children would e;ll
more in meal than l could in Il day.
would order food and then turn from
y
other stimulants and on myself, like
bear in winter. The quinine set my
head in whirl, anbthe iquor-given
as a medicine-made my Stomach so
sick could not tolerate it.
From 175 pounds (my proper weight)
ran down to 81 pounds-the wei gtt
of a light girl-and was scarcely better
than skeleton.
If nNybody had taken hatchet and
Knocked me down and killed me / should
hare BEEN better of.
During the latter part of this period.
early in 1886, my physician said:
MILLER, there's no use in my taking
any more money Of you, can't do YOU
any good. I mi ght pour pounds of qui-
nine down your throat and it wouldn't
help you"
On the strength of this I gave up the
use of quinine altogether, and made up
my mind to do nothing more and take
my chances.
Three weeks aftcrwards-about the
last of M:y-my wife saw an advertise
mcnt of Kaskine in New York paper.
Sh" ;old me of it. l said: "Stutf and
nonsense! it can't do me any good" !"
But she went to druggists. ncverthe-
less, to get it. The druggist advised
her against Kaskine: he said it was
nothing but sugar; that she ought not
tn throw away her money on it. &c.
lIr said he didn't keep it, but could get
i, ii she insisted on having it. Turn
Ing away in disgust my wife spoke to
our neighbor, Mr.. A. G. Hegewald,
who got her bottle at drug store in
Sixth avenue.
Almost against my will, and without
the least faith, began taking it. In
one week l was better. l began to-
sleep. stopped seeing ghosts. i"
began to have an appetite and to gain
strength. This was now the first of
june, 1886. and by tn" end of that
month 1 was back at My bench at c. P.
Smiths scroll saving factory in 116th
street, where work row.
Since then | hav,' never lost a day
from sickness. T"kin" kaSkine only,
about forty pellets IN f"Hr quail doses
a day, I c"at:nrrd to gain. The ma
laria appeared 10 be killed in my sys-
tenn, and HOW I've got back my old
wcieht-175 pounds-and my old
strength to labor. l am an astonish-
mcn1 to myself and to my friends, and
if Kaskinc did not do this don't know
what did. The only greater thing it
could do wouId be to bring dead man
to life. FREDERICK A. MILLER.
